Is the Wait Over? The Starfield PS5 Release Date Leak You Can’t Ignore
It feels like PlayStation owners have been watching from the launchpad forever. While Xbox and PC players have been charting the stars in Starfield for years, PS5 fans have just been waiting for their turn to board.
Well, if a new leak from Europe is accurate, you might finally be clearing that landing gear sooner than you think. The exclusive walls are reportedly coming down this spring.
April 7: The Date Everyone Is Watching
We’ve heard whispers about Starfield jumping ship to Sony‘s console for a while now, but we finally have a specific date to circle on the calendar.
According to a report from the Polish outlet PPE, citing internal distributor documents, Starfield is set to hit the PlayStation 5 on April 7, 2026. Does the date make sense? Actually, yes. April 7 lands on a Tuesday, which is the industry standard for major game releases.
While PPE has had a mixed track record in the past, they’ve been spot-on regarding physical release logistics before. If this intel holds up, we are looking at a very short window between announcement and launch.
With Sony‘s next State of Play rumored for around February 12, the timing lines up perfectly for a “mic drop” moment from Microsoft and Bethesda.

Starfield 2.0: A Better Version on Day One?
Here is where things get interesting for anyone who held off. You aren’t just getting a late port; you might be getting the definitive experience.
The same rumors suggest that this PS5 launch will coincide with a massive “Starfield 2.0” update. Think about Cyberpunk 2077‘s redemption arc. Bethesda has reportedly used the last few years of player feedback to overhaul key systems.
We’re talking potentially better exploration loops, fewer loading screens, or a revamped UI. If the “2.0” chatter is true, PlayStation gamers skip the buggy launch phase and jump straight into a polished, feature-rich galaxy.
Plus a native PS5 version means we could see DualSense support. Feeling the thrum of your ship’s engines or the recoil of a MagShear through haptic feedback would add a layer of immersion that Xbox players haven’t quite had.
Verdict: Should You Pre-Order?
If this rumor pans out, Starfield on PS5 is a massive deal. Sure, the game had a disastrous start, but If you love slow-burn exploration, ship building, and getting lost in side quests that take hours, this will be a solid buy. However, until we see official confirmation from the State of Play, keep your expectations in check.
